My daughter needs an urgent Liver Transplant

Dear Supporters,

As mentioned in the update posted on 3rd August 2020, Pt. Joshna breathed her last on 1st of August 2020 (Saturday). Post discussion with the hospital, we are given to understand that as on date there was an outstanding of Rs.  of Rs 1.1 lacs with the hospital for her ICU admission. We will be using the funds raised to clear the outstanding amount. The family has paid approximately Rs. 2.3 lacs to the hospital. Considering the same we have transferred Rs.  2.3 towards the family's account.

After the settlement of bills for Joshna's treatment as well as reimbursement towards expenses borne by the family,  we have a balance of  Rs 11.6 lacs in INR and $9,100 in USD (Cumulatively Rs. 18.27 lacs). With the consent of the family, the money available is proposed to be used towards the treatment of other patients with urgent needs.

To begin with, we will be allocating around Rs. 13 lacs towards Pt Sashvika and Boomasri's campaign.

"12-year-old Boomasri and 3-year-old Sashvika are siblings and both of them have been diagnosed with a disease named Alagille Syndrome and the only treatment for this is a Liver Transplant Surgery. Package for Liver Transplant Surgery for each patient is Rs. 19.5 lacs ib Global Gleneagles Hospital, Chennai. (In total Rs. 39 lacs) and at the time of posting this update, their fundraising campaign has raised only Rs. 2.18 lacs. Mapping this amount would immensely help Siva and Renuka (Boomasri's and Sashvika's parents)"

"Raju has been running a campaign for his 54-year-old wife who needed a Liver Transplant Surgery. She was extremely critical at the time of admission and she was taken for transplant immediately. She now needs a prolonged long ICU stay to fully recover. Raju has already spent more than 17 lacs for his wife's treatment. We will be allocating Rs. 5 lacs to Arpita's campaign."

All the donors of Joshna's campaign will get periodic health updates on Arpita's campaign and Boomasri and Sashvika's campaign via emails and WhatsApp messages

Even though Joshna could not survive, we hope that funds collected for her will save the lives of multiple patients. May her soul Rest in Peace

Dear Supporters,

We have some unfortunate news to share. Despite the doctor's best efforts, Joshna was unable to cope with her illness and passed away on Saturday. We hope she rests in peace. She was tested positive for COVID-19 and due to which hospital was forced to reschedule her tansplantation surgery. She was on medical management in the hospital, however, her health started deteriorating and she became critically ill. Despite the best efforts the doctors could not save her. She breathed her last on 1st August 2020.

We are in touch with the family to understand the outstanding expenses and also the expenses that were borne by the family.  We request time till 8th of August (Saturday) to get back to you with more information.

Joshna was a brave girl and we hope that she is in a better place now. Do keep her family in your prayers to give them the strength to get through this.



Thank You

Dear Supporters ,

Thanks for all the love and support. Here is a quick update on Joshna.
She is a little unstable to undergo the transplant presently. She needs to stabilise first and for the same she is admitted in the Pediatric ICU. She needs another 2 weeks stay in the PICU. We need additional financial support for her ICU stay as well.
